Politics
Boone was born on April 30, 1848 in Twillingate as the son of the Reverend Thomas Boone, originally from Hampton, New Brunswick, and a woman (née Sinnott) who was descended from a United Empire Loyalist family.[1] He was educated there and at the Church of England Academy in St. John's. Boone went on to study law and was called to the bar in 1870.[2] He practised law in partnership with James Gervé Conroy from 1872.[3] Boone was named solicitor for the Newfoundland assembly in 1874 and served until 1882, when he was elected to the assembly.[2]
Boone died of pneumonia at St. John's at the age of 36.[1]
